I actually liked the film, but it's fanbase seems very closely tied to the Rocky Horror fanbase (which I've grown to hate) so I don't think I could ever really get into it. Some of the exceptional high points of the movie for me were: The main character has a very Darth Vader-like vibe to him and Paris Hilton actually performs surprisingly well in her role.

Do people dislike this? I always liked it, it's quite refreahing and some of the songs are quite good (except seventeen that one is downright awful). I like that it fully embodies the time period in which is was made, everything about it just screams early 00s and i find that kinda charming.

This was a nice change up for me. I was worried that this series was already falling into a rut. Not that the movies didn't need defending, but afraid that the defending method was already becoming stale.

I really enjoy this series Jim. I don't know if that means anything to you or not, but there it is. The only criticism I'd ever have said is that for a few episodes it seemed like things were just getting bogged down in the "people say X, but X doesn't matter" routine. And routine isn't what this show should offer. It's best when it's an episode like this, where it's a celebration of thing rather than focusing solely on it's detractors. So here are your appropriate KUDOS.

I did not care for REPO. But it had nothing to do with the premise, the design or even the acting. I just couldn't get into the musical side of it. And as someone who counts many screen musicals among my favorite films, that's a deal breaker. But my daughter likes it. Some of her friends like it. And good on them if they do. My generation had Rocky Horror, maybe REPO is their version of that. And there's nothing wrong with that.

She plays a spoiled, wealthy heiress to a major company that has a penchant for cosmetic surgery. She was essentially playing herself. Except her face falls off. And that's hilarious.

I love this movie. In fact, a lot of people into more campy style horror I know really dug this film in a big way. It was something different and I think a lot of the music was actually pretty good (with a few huge stinkers in it).

I remember this one. I was kinda disappointed in it honestly. I most kept watching it cause it has a great aesthetic but I found the singing to be spotty. Zyadrate Anatomy and Chase the Morning are awesome but if I'd been watching it in a theater I probably would have left at Mark It Up (yes it meant to be bad but it did it's job too well, isn't very funny to me and has out of place cartoon sound effects) or 17. Thankless Job sounds fucking awful to me as well but makes up for it by being funny at least. That actor can sing when he's not doing the forced growly low voice thing. I wasn't fond of Rotti singing either.I hear Paris Hilton actually donated much of the clothing in that movie so point for her! I've seen people avoid the movie just because she's in it but she isn't that bad.

God damn does this movie need more exposure. Easily one of my favorite films ever.

It's so cool finding out someone else is a fan of it. Just the other day I was chatting with an old friend and he mentioned offhand "Hey, have you ever seen this movie called Repo The Genetic Opera?" to which I squeed and said how much I loved it. We then immediately sang Zydrate Anatomy together.

thisbymaster:WTF did I just watch? The idea is interesting but unrealistic. Nope, I will never again watch anything like Rocky Horror. You people have serious issues if you enjoy watching gore/rape.

If mainstream society doesn't think you have issues, you aren't really living.

Just finished watching it. Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh. Chase the Morning and the one music about little glass vials were absolutely stunning, but everything else was pretty bad. Who the hell decided to not make this entirely around the graverobber?

This is one of those "everybody's told me that I should watch it, which is only putting me off" sort of films. One day I'll bite the bullet, though.

A word for the casting, though. The story goes that the directors rang Sarah Brightman - you know, proper legit classical crossover / musical performer in everything Andrew Lloyd Webber did - to be in the movie on a total long shot; and she said "yeah, sure, sounds like a laugh". That says most of what needs to be said about this film. Paris Hilton, Antony Stewart Head, Paul Sorvino, Sarah Brightman and others on a budget of what was surely pence? They obviously saw something worthwhile in it.

And my cousin tells me that because of Alexa Vega in this film, he will be arrested if he ever watches Spy Kids again.

I worked for years in a factory that made copies of this movie and I remember wanting to see it all this time. I like operatic movies and I'm looking forward to seeing this one eventually.

Jim, I will agree with some others here that I like to see you explore rarer movies...

Did anyone ever see the other movie the Director (and about half the cast) of this movie did? The Devil's Carnival? Cause that was, while probably not as memorable, just as good, and the song "Penny for a Tale" is one of my all time favorites.

You know, on paper, this isn't really a movie I should like at all. I'm not a fan of Rocky Horror Picture Show (heresy, I know), I fucking loath Paris Hilton and anything she's attached to, and I'm not super into the ascetic this film is going for. And yet, when I watched it for the first time last year, I liked it.

Firstly, the difference between this and Rocky Horror is that I actually LIKE most of the songs in this (Night Surgeon is better than any song in Rocky Horror, bar none). The Repo Man is a truly awesome character, and if I ever get into cosplay, I'll probably do him at least once. The story is actually really good (and actually makes sense, unlike Rocky Horror).

This is exactly what I tell everyone when I talk about this movie. There's only one way to get me to admit that Paris Hilton was perfect for a role. And this was it.
